}}}} Adapis is an extinct genus of Adapidae primate belonging to the subfamily Adapinae.[1] The genus was named by Cuvier in 1821 and contains up to three species.[2] Males were larger than females.[3]Thinking that the distorted remains from the Paris region belonged to an extinct genus of pachyderms, Cuvier adopted Adapis, a non-scientific name that was "sometimes used for the Hyrax", which was considered related to Adapis by Cuvier.[4] Cuvier's source for the informal name was Conrad Gesner, Historiae animalium, I (Zurich, 1551), chapter on rabbits, [https://books.google.nl/books?id=awHnrwsSErQC&pg=PA395&lpg=PA395&dq=%22dapsicus+autem%22&source=bl&ots=IqZV_QAHV5&sig=nGaIIiEIePzwV9a9AbwtJLyW9n4&hl=nl&sa=X&ei=KuyWVaCVA6OuygPV1ZfQCA&ved=0CCIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22dapsicus%20autem%22&f=false p. 395]. Gesner himself believed that both adapis and the Aramaic word from which he thought it was derived actually referred to the common rabbit.
